A new calibration curve for the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) has been constructed and internationally ratified replace IntCal98, which extended from 0–24 cal kyr BP (Before Present, 0 = AD 1950). The data set terrestrial samples extends 0–26 BP, but with much higher resolution beyond 11.4 than IntCal98. Dendrochronologically-dated tree-ring cover period 0–12.4 BP. Beyond end tree rings, marine records (corals foraminifera) are converted atmospheric equivalent a...

The 3‐km‐long Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core presents a 100,000 + ‐year detailed oxygen isotope profile covering almost full glacial‐interglacial cycle. Measurements of isotopic fluctuations in snow, frost, and atmospheric water vapor samples collected during summer field seasons (up to 20‰) are compatible with the large abrupt 18 O/ 16 O changes observed accumulated firn. Snow pit δ profiles from GISP2 summit area, however, show rapid smoothing signal near surface. Beyond...
Well‐documented present‐day distributions of stable water isotopes (HDO and H 2 18 O) show the existence, in middle high latitudes, a linear relationship between mean annual isotope content precipitation (δD δ temperature at site. Paleoclimatologists have used this relationship, which is particularly well obeyed over Greenland Antarctica, to infer paleotemperatures from ice core data. There is, however, growing evidence that spatial temporal isotope/surface slopes differ, thus complicating...
It has been suggested that in order to address current complex problems, scientists have take on new roles link the production and use of knowledge. However, what exactly these mean is often not clearly identified. This paper contributes this by discussing relevant literature related different science society presenting results a study perspectives activities knowledge brokering. We identify three brokering repertoires: supplying, bridging facilitating, which differ with respect whether they...
A depth-age scale and an accumulation history for the Holocene have been established on Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) deep core, providing most continuously dated record of annual layer currently available. The was obtained with use various independent techniques to count layers in core. An surface during by correcting observed thicknesses flow-thinning. Fluctuations provide a continuous detailed climate variability over central Holocene. Climate events, including "Little Age" type...
Values of the oxygen isotope ratios (delta(18)O) in tree-ring cellulose closely reflect delta(18)O values atmospheric precipitation and hence mean annual temperature. The change is 0.41 per mil degree Celsius for selected near-coastal stations. also with altitude, as demonstrated Mount Rainier, Washington.

Following the Blue Growth ambition of European Commission, interest in potential offshore is growing.

European seas are encountering an upsurge in competing marine activities and infrastructures. Traditional exploitation such as fisheries, tourism, transportation, oil production accompanied by new sustainable economic offshore windfarms, aquaculture, tidal wave energy. One proposed solution to overcome possible claims at sea lies combining these part of Multi-Use Platforms Sea (MUPS). MUPS can be understood areas sea, designated for a combination activities, either completely integrated...

Changes in solar constant over an 11 yr cycle suggest a certain, but limited, degree of forcing climate. The high-resolution climate (oxygen isotope) record the Greenland GISP2 (Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2) ice core has been analyzed for (and volcanic) influences. atmospheric 14 C is used as proxy change and compared to oxygen isotope profile core. An annual derived from centimeter-scale measurements available post-A.D. 818 interval. Associated extreme summer winter ratios were found yield...
The radiocarbon calibration curve IntCal04 extends back to 26 cal kyr B P. While several high-resolution records exist beyond this limit, these data sets exhibit discrepancies of up millennia. As a result, no for the time range 26–50 BP can be recommended as yet, but in paper working group compares available and offers discussion information that they hold.
Low average δ 18 O values and large seasonal variations in snow accumulating on the tropical Quelccaya ice cap Peru can be quantitatively explained by a balance calculation of water vapor mass isotopes. Important factors are (1) air stability over Amazon Basin, (2) surface elevation Quelccaya, (3) changes Quelccaya. Seasonal evaporation amplify cycle. Air circulation stability, rather than temperature, determine cycle at and, probably, other low‐latitude sites.
